Score 1 for the good guys.
Update- Yesterday federal prosecutors withdrew the subpoenas against the peace activists in Iowa and released Drake University from the gag order following the huge outcry from American citizens. However they did NOT say the investigation had ended.
Gotta stay on top of these weasels.
Janet Jacksons breast could not be reached for comment.

We knew this was coming.
Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of a pacifist religious organisation or peace movement?
These folks (including Quakers, Mennonites, and members of the Catholic Peace Ministries) are being subpoenaed to testify before a federal grand jury. Under the auspices of the Joint Terrorism Task Force and the Patriot Act they aren't allowed to know why they're being investigated. Drake University has been ordered to release records of meetings by the Drake chapter of the National Lawyers Guild that organised a peace protest outside a national guard base. They think. It's hard to be sure. Because of a gag order, no one can talk about it. The grand jury proceedings are secret. They are not allowed to have lawyers present.
How many Constitutional rights can they violate at once? I see freedom of speech, right to lawful assembly, and religious freedom off the top of my head.
And they're just getting started. Zieg Heil, Baby.
I got so upset I almost forgot to thank Bruce and Frank for the pointers.

Janet Jacksons Breast
I dont have a problem with Janets breast. It's a nice breast. I've seen them before on the cover of Rolling Stone or Vanity Fair or some such, years ago, lovingly cupped in her boyfriends hands. If I had breasts like that I'd take my shirt off every chance I got too.
What does disgust me is the big brough ha ha and hypocricy. For instance, Timberlake acts out violently ripping off a womans clothes while singing "I'll get you naked before the end of this song" and still gets to be on the Grammys, but not Janet. It's ok for Nelly to have bikini clad dancers bumping and grinding all around him while he constantly grabbed his crotch. That was tasteful. And the commercial that showed a horse farting in a womans face... now THAT'S class!
But showing the MoveOn add that depicts how the Americas children will have to pay for the deficit. Nooo, That's too controversial. They're right. If I was a kid that would damage me way more than 2 seconds of Janets breast.
Now, a week of looping that 2 seconds over and over with her nipple jewelry blurred out. Get over it.
You know what? If I had the knowledge and equipment. I would produce a clip that would show over and over: Timberlake ripping her shirt off. Quick cut to Bush saying, "We were attacked." And then Howard Deans "Yee Haw!".
Picture it. Just loop again and again and sell it to all the network news shows. They'd never have to show anything again until the end of October when the Bush administration stages Bin Ladens capture for the election. They could all take the summer off.

Hound Grog Day
My colds are so toe.
The gray is still sky.
So winter of sick.
I camp miss my.
Seals are windowed
With ice of crust.
Discontent is wintered
In House of this Dust.
The clears I could cobweb.
The open I could door.
But shadow saw it's groundhog.
Of six weeks winter more.
The face warm on my sun
Now so I for long.
The breeze of a scent,
The loon of a song.
This make doesnt sense.
Know I sounds it crazy.
But my fog is minded,
And bored am I lazy.
I read when you know this,
You'll say what I'm knowing.
This long is too winter.
And I'm crazy going!
